I know it was a street fight and not a wrestling match but the way Vince dominated Flair was a bit much... He's basically kicking Ric's ass 99% of the match, was weird seeing flair getting manhandled by Vince of all people.

Possibly the way Flair wanted it. Flair got his butt kicked in all his matches for the most part. He didn't do a lot of offense (chops, work on the legs).
Of course, a street fight is different, so he could've had more offense. I need to go back and watch.

You could see a young Charlotte in the crowd I believe, or the other daughter of Flair. it was quite brutal in places.

The McMahons egos were totally out of control in 2001 and early 2002. This match is a by product of that IMHO. The entire booking of the Invasion and subsequent events by ruled 100% by McMahon fascination with winning a war onscreen that they had already won in real life.
Even when ratings began to steadily decline they started to panic and hotshot Angles. now, Steiner, Goldberg........but they were all treated poorly as well because of this egomania.
Vince & Steph flushed a LOT of money 2001-2004.

It could just be par for the course. Flair always got his ass kicked for 90 percent of his matches. Then, he'd cheat and get the win. That's what made him so hated...and so revered. Anything for a win.
Of course, it might be revenge for Flair splitting in '93 and going back to WCW.
Maybe it was just that Flair getting his ass kicked made for a better match than Vince getting his ass kicked. Remember how awkward the Vince/Bret match at WM26 was?

Flair getting his ass kicked kind of made sense here because he was carrying the match. Good call there chief |

I'm not sure it had anything to do with this match in particular, but I don't think Vince really card for Flair as a character or performer. I mean look at his run in 92. I know he won the title, but they weren't confident in his feud with Hogan and bounced him from the main event of Mania, wasn't even ON THE CARD for SummerSlam, jobbed at SS and was gone in January. As a matter of fact, I don't think he won a match of consequence after Mania except winning the title back to transition it to Bret.
